PHILANTHROPY a big word but an even bigger idea. What does it mean? It means to donate money to a good cause. It is also about making generosity a part of your life from today on! The Peter Pan Children s Fund hopes that the experience of helping other children by GIVING INSTEAD OF RECEIVING will be the beginning of a lifelong commitment. What better way to celebrate the blessings of your life than to give to others? James Barrie, the man who wrote Peter Pan, was a philanthropist. He gave a lot of money to support good causes. In 1929, he gave the rights to the story of Peter Pan to The Great Ormond Street Children s Hospital in London, England. Peter Pan has helped a lot of sick children. The Peter Pan Children s Fund congratulates young philanthropists through the Peter Pan Hospital Gift program.
